/in /by

New York, NY – Humorist Books releases new humor gift book “How to be an Old Person: Everything to Know for the Newly Old, Retiring, Elderly, or Considering,” by Brian Boone. Full of nifty diagrams, illustrations, and succinctly written so you don’t forget what you’re reading partway through, this comprehensive guide is perfect for those looking to enter into their golden years without style and grace.

 

But entering into your golden years isn’t all hard candy and unreserved flatulence. It takes skill and finesse, training and education, to become a proper Old Person. Fortunately, there’s a guide—not in the form of some newfangled Facebook movie, but an honest-to-God, hold-it-in-your-wrinkly-withered-hands BOOK—that’ll help you navigate the perilous and confusing new world of cootdom.

 

How to Be an Old Person, by Brian Boone (Vulture, Great Men of Science) will tell you all you need to know about this new season of life! So put on your favorite cardigan, pour yourself a nice cup of tea, and get started on your journey to becoming an Old Person!

 

“Such a clever take on habits and behavior,” says Marty Dundics, CEO of Humorist Media and Publisher of Humorist Books, who also made the illustrations for the book interior. “We all are getting older, and the little habits and truths Brian shines a funny light on are hilarious. I was very excited that we could be the imprint to publish it, and I had a blast illustrating it, as well!”

 

Rob Kutner, award winning comedy writer for The Daily Show and  Conan says “With acerbic yet still not-unkind wit towards The Most Hilarious Generation, Boone fills each page with multiple LOLs (an acronym inaccessible to his target population) and ingeniously clever sections plumbing every iota of old-person life, from mastering Old Person Smell, to the proper way to constantly and relentless convey to your fellow Olds, ‘Guess Who Died?’”

 

In its first 3 days, How to Be an Old Person  ranked #1 in New Releases for Internet & Social Media Humor, Urban Legends Humor, and in the top 100 for new humor books! 

 

Brian Boone has written for Funny or Die, The Onion, Bunny Ears, Vulture, ClickHole, RiffTrax, CBC Comedy, The New Yorker, MAD, Weekly Humorist, Looper, Someecards, How Stuff Works, and many high profile podcasts. He’s the author of many children’s joke books, the music trivia title I Love Rock n’ Roll (Except When I Hate It), and is a longtime contributor and editor for the Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader series.
